Glenn Beck on The NY Times Attacking Al Gore

[FreeMason34]

After doing tons of research for as long as this year goes.... I conclude that If I were ever to see Al Gore in the street.. I'd surely punch him in the face!!! I feel like such a fool, I used to adore this guys. He's not fooling me anymore. Bastard!

[jtizz711]

glenn beck is smart. i love this dude. he speaks his mind. the truth. u must respect his opinions. he's not for democrats or republicans i think...i believe he is for the truth. the convenient and innocent truth. peace man peace

[grhombe]

Does anybody knw what greenhouse gas holds the most energy? Water vaper holds over 1000x per molicule than CO2. Hmmmmm

[axsundiver]

I just saw a talk by Don Easterbrook on this very topic and no where was data he used cited, but graphs he provided were derived without any data for computations. The graphs were merely cut and pasted from other graphs and presented as data. His answers to direct questions were very unsastifactory and his data were suspect at best.

[halomandrummer]

God bless america!

Glenn Rocks!

[Zipzap220]

What's wrong whit you?

[auritone]

The last comment doesn't make much sense since there is a scientist PRESENT in the same PROGRAM who got FUNDED from the exact same places and reached different conclusions.

Hmmm, did you get THAT, Glenn Beck?

[larsiemannen]

Who is this person?

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

the rushie neocons are sooo much like killers charlie manson and jefferie dahmer that i confuse the three ... it's sooo hard to relate to them ... one is making $400M ... such a guy would drive the largest hummer that you can imagine ... filling up its 100 gallon gasoline tanks twice a week then climbs into his personal 747 to get drugs ... scoffing at global warming ... insisting that burning 200 gigabarrels of oil every year does nothing to the environment ... and his minions eat it up

[hoolerprime]

tg101393:

Your an idiot. It's pretty evident that the best CONservatives that you people put in office, as evidenced by your President cannot even speak, let alone beat anyone in a debate. Your batch of Conservatism is a kin to the tatics used by Nazi's. You lie and warp the truth. You want a debate? Debate me, however considering you're an idiot, I think it would be beneathe me. So much for Bush being a "uniter" hey? This batch of CONservative trash needs to be flushed down the toilet.

[tg101393]

I tried to follow, but lack of spell check made it difficult....... I was able to understand that you said I "lie" and "warp" the truth. Can you provide example of me doing so, becuase it is a bit unfair to accuse me without prove.

[raymondbe]

My god, so much disinformation, so little time, so much pain in store for our children.

Even if there's a 1 in 5 chance that we're wrong about climate change, is that a risk you'd take? If you knew an airplane you were boarding had a 1 in 5 or even 1 in 10 chance of crashing, would you take that flight? Ask yourself, what's the worst that could happen if we're wrong about climate change? What's the worst that could happen if we're right?

[tg101393]

Don't leave your house. You have a 1 in 10 chnace of being raped by an Alien if you leave your house. Are you willing to take that chance and leave your house!

[raymondbe]

Ok so you're saying that the majority of the world's scientists are claiming that people are often raped by aliens?

[tg101393]

I assumed the "1 in 5" and "1 in 10" statistics were made up by you and NOT any scientist. So I made up a situation that hasn't been supported by any scientist to my knowledge. I was attacking (and slightly mocking) your use of "1 in 10" statistics. I also made a camparison that over 18,000 scientists would say was a good ccomparison: the chances of global warming being caused by humans and aliens raping people and random.

[raymondbe]

Yes, they were made up by me. The scientists are actually saying they are 100% certain man made global warming is happening. I just said even if they weren't certain, lets say if they only had a certainty of only 1 in 5 or even 1 in 10. If you knew there was a 1 in 10 chance of your flight crashing, would you get on that plane?

[raymondbe]

18000 scientists? Are the worlds 1000 top climate scientists among them? No! They are all saying it is. Dredging up statistics comprising non-climate-expert scientists is meaningless. I have a science degree. That makes me a scientist but I'm not qualified to comment on something as complex as the worlds climate system. I leave it to the real experts and guess what the overwhelming majority of them are saying?

[colt10ram]

wow a science degree must not be hard to get because you are an idiot. The global cooling has already started by the way because if you have not bothered to look outside it is getting colder not warmer, when it gets warmer then we can talk.

[raymondbe]

What an idiot. So a small minority of scientists are skeptical. So what? Just because they disagree with the majority of the world's top climate scientists does that make their arguments valid. The IPCC is made up of over a thousand scientists. Why believe this monority over them? And to the people claiming there is some kind of conspiracy in which all of these scientists are participating, you're nuts and don't understand how science is practiced.

[tg101393]

Al Gore is a hypocrite......

"The Incovienant Truth" has animated clips meant to be depicted as real footage of ice melting.....

The movie is also full of exaggertions and flat out LIES..........

He wnats it to be made illegal to debate global warming....

Just becuase the majority doesn't mean you are right.....

[raymondbe]

You may be right about Al Gore but I wasn't talking about him. He's not the last word on this issue. Read my post again. I didn't mention Al Gore. It's the majority of the world's top climate scientists that I'm talking about. If you think they are all wrong or there is some kind of conspiracy in which all of these scientists are participating, you're nuts and don't understand how science is practiced.

[AgnesBojaxhiu2000]

hussein osama ... i mean obama is a winner ... this would have been impossible had the rushie neocons not insisted that global warming was a joke and that you should buy the largest suv you can find ... they laughed at the scientists who tell them that the climate is changing and that 40% of the life form diversity will be wiped out by 2100 and that global warming is a threat ... they continue the iraq war for the next 100 years to support big oil @$1B/day ... allah be praised

[smokedaddyo]

anyone notice the person posting glenn beck tech vids under the name of techvids only allows comments from glenn beck supporters?  totally pathetic but oh so american these days

[anishsuthar]

U STOP ACTING FOR ONE GROUP,

[xdir]

The so called skeptics are all funded by energy companies who have a vested interest in the status quo. What if the US makes a policy change and goes green, invests billions in reducing/stopping carbon emissions, imagine the boost it will give to the US economy - the technology that can be exported, while the rest of the world will be struggling for oil the US could be the worlds alternative Energy source. a Western democratic Saudi Arabia. .

[rickygop]

buy glenn's book.

[JanlSmi]

Al Gore is not a scientist, he is a politician. He claimed to have invented the internet and now he wants you to change your lifestyle, while he maintains his. His true purpose is to usher in the age of socialism in the USA. This is his way of convincing voters that we must vote ourselves a huge tax increase. Remember, the folks who know him best, those in his home state, did not support him in his bid for presidency.

[hellotommy]

Great,

teachers in the US are pumping his movie into our childrens heads in Public Schools! This should be a crime. There are so many conflics of interest my head is spinning.

Hillary In '08 "Cowgirl Diplomacy"

Get Bubba a cigar and an intern He's Back!

[tg101393]

Thanks for flashing common sense Janl Smi. Not to many people seem to have it.

[genYprogressive]

So Glenn Beck thinks that Al Gore is a Nazi for trying to cap exhaust emissions?

I think Glenn Beck has been inlailing those exhaust emissions.

[AchillesShield]

Scientific consensus does not mean it is a fact! Einstein's theory of relativity was initially rejected by scientific consensus- now it's mainstream. Rapid global climate change is nothing new in history. There are simply too many variables as to what causes it.

[AchillesShield]

Also, it was warmer by at least 1 degrees celsius 1000 ago- even than in our age of so-called 'global warming'. Historically, rapid climate changes are quite common.

[hoolerprime]

I think that the citizens of the US should lobby for the broadcasting licences to be pulled from FOX News with Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck. If you deal with these people, you do so from a position of power. Pull their broadcasting licence.

[shirley526]

Broadcast licenses are not required for cable channels. The licenses required to get the video to you are being obtained by the individual cable and satelltite companies.

[hoolerprime]

True, however they are responsible for what they broadcast. When it comes to things like hate speech and outright lies, I personally think it is grounds for making that argument. Thanks for correcting me.

[girzwald]

Typical liberal. You cannot defeat the opposition, so you attempt to silence them.

[hoolerprime]

Well as a Liberal, I subscribe to the truth. As a typical Conservative, it seems you advocate lies, deciet and manipulation and simply cannot stand the scrutiny of hard fact. Go do your research and actually attempt to learn something. By the way, attempting to "silence" any criticizm is a trait of Conservatives, not Liberals.

All the best.

[girzwald]

Hmmmm I could say the same thing in reverse. The only difference is conservatives aren't saying the opposition must be silenced. And oh really? Its typical of conservatives? Show me a modern day example. My example is on this very page.

"hoolerprime" says it just fine.

[hoolerprime]

No Conservatives just belligerantly attack those they don't agree with with media dogs, they are not interested in any form of discussion, discourse or debate. They are only interested in smashing any form of criticizm. Period. It's sad that a party that was once held in such high esteem is now populated with child molestor Congressmen, closest dwelling homosexual Senators and incompetant leaders. I am not your monkey, go do your own research. Watch anything on FOX.

[girzwald]

Wow, you have it totally backwards.  Liberals are the ones who do that. Proof? This very video's comments page. Someone has an opposing view and you say beck, o'rielly, and fox news should be off the air. Instead of saying,"Dont listen to these guys,listen to this instead" you say they should be silenced. Your own words speak louder than mine ever could.

[tg101393]

Librals always try to silence those that they cannot beat in a debate. Al Gore tried to make it illegal to debate global warming. If you don't exaggerate , lie, or be hypocritical you will have a better chance of getting someone to believe things you say.

[hoolerprime]

wow...you're pretty dense. climate change/gobal warming is real and if you don't think so, then I think you're pretty dense considering that 10 000 scientists have confirmed it.

[TheSalisburyTory]

No, 10,000 scientists agree that global warming is happening. Agree, being the key word. Just because 10,000 agree doesn't mean it's happening.

[hoolerprime]

did you just say that?

So you believe that the world is flat then is that correct? What do you think the odds are that 10 000 professionally trained scientists would simply lie. These people are not in any cult, these are people who report observations, not conspire. So do you believe that it not real? Perhaps you should really reflect so you may find the truth here.

[TheSalisburyTory]

I don't believe the Earth is flat because that theory has been tested rigorously over centuries. The theory of Global Warming has only been tested since the 80s. I wasn't saying the scientists are lying, i was saying that just because 10,000 agree doesn't mean their right.

[hoolerprime]

This along with the mindset of Glenn Beck make me sick that you can embrace lies and defend them in the face of imperical and measurable truth.

[takotheoktopus]

Agreed.

[kleach45]

Al Gore, give your head a shake people, that stupid ass-hole has jumped on a popular bandwagon, as a step for his next attempt at the Presidency, just follow the money trail, thats what the scientists are doing.

What happened to the hole in the ozone layer scare we used to hear about all the time.

Guess mankind hasn't been wiped out, so, global warming it is !

[Focustrong]

SO, over HALF A MILLION TONS of Carbon Monoxide spewed into the air EVERY HOUR doesn't cause any harm to the Earth... ? Hmm, let's go to College and end the stupidity. It's that simple.

[takotheoktopus]

Well said.

[abrandjr]

They found samples of butterflys, plants and spiders at the bottom of a ice glacier in Greenland.The oldest DNA ever found. Global warming caused by man is not real. Lets end the stupidity. If your so concern that we are destroying the Earth, go commit suicide. Its that simple.

[Slazenger4]

Thanks for the link carmexworks! great video about the truth behind the "global warming" panic. He is an awesome documentary that was released in the UK which tell about the same stuff but goes more in depth. The Great Global Warming Swindle -its just over an hour long but it is an amazing film, enjoy!

[Slazenger4]

This man cares nothing about the environment, he just is concerned about whether or not his wallet is filled.

[gmakepiece]

Dear Slazenger, thats just your personal insult fantasy ad hominem minus evidence. Beck has the job & profile already. How is Becks alleged motives relevant to the soundness of the Global Warming mass mania that may be bunkum? Science is NOT consensus, but permanent scepticism & repeated testing. It's not prediction via extrapolation on an unproven hypothesis.

[Slazenger4]

No I don't listen directly to Glenn Beck, I listen to the science behind his message and do my own research based on what scientists and other knowledgeable personnel say on his program. And are you aware that this is not a topic that has come to a consensus in science? Have you ever heard of a little group called The Oregon Petition, made up of 19000 scientists, against the Kyoto Protocol.

[Keriba32]

The Oregon Petition was formed by the OISM, which has about 6 faculty. The head of it is a man named Arthur Robinson. He sent out a paper to 1000s of scientists around the country that said that increased CO2 was actually beneficial. Neither he nor any of the coauthors have any training in the field of climatology nor plants and the theory behind the paper is just ridiculous. Plus two of the coauthors have worked at the George C. Marshall Institute, a known Conservative think tank.

[Keriba32]

Still, they designed the letter so that it looked as though it were credible and based off of peer review which is why it got so many signatures. I bet most of those scientists, if they're much of scientists, regret it now. Most of them didn't even have background in climate related fields. So, not that I'm not glad that you listen to other sources besides Glenn Beck, but don't pick the Oregon Petition as your rock before you do a little research about it! :p

[Slazenger4]

I Suppose that he is putting the money he made off apple into his "Global Warming fund" as well? In his documentary, there is a full 40 minutes of nothing but him on his Apple laptop. where do you think that money is going?

Upon Googling your "science", i found that it is a branch off of the Wikipedia site... and I stopped right there because, IT'S WIKIPEDIA! any joe-schmo with a peanut for a brain can go on there and change whatever he wants so the page can say what he thinks it should say.

[Slazenger4]

NOT A POLITICIAN!? Are you kidding me, I should stop right now but this is too easy. Are you aware that the company that Al Gore would put the money from his "carbon credits" was started and is owned by himself and that same company was started from the money he made off of the oil industry? Now that seems a little weird, doesn't it, a man proposing a bill that would mostly hurt the middle class, puts the money into a company that he owns?

[Slazenger4]

Yes indeed, lets listen to the best science out there. The greatest scientist on the face of this "doomed" planet, Mr. Al Gore. Now, i don't know about you, but i think I would rather listen to what actual scientists are saying than what some politician with an idea to steal millions of dollars from American citizens and put all of it into companies THAT HE OWNS! I'm gonna go with the people who are actually educated in the field of climatology over the scam artist.

[hekkibreki]

crappy video. come with some facts, the only fact is that the newyork times helpt the u.s guverment to brainwash there people and making them to afrait to think for them self so F##K you and your shit

[tg101393]

The NY Times absolutely hates the Bush Adminastation. Why would they randomly start to help him?

[xXAkridXx]

I cant post links here, so Ill send you a IM with that information.

[xXAkridXx]

"There is no CREDIBLE DEBATE" that in itself is unscientific. Your just saying not to talk about it, dont think, just follow what we say (apeal to authority) and act. A lot of these so called top scientist where just put on the list because they at some point said somthing that supports the alarmist opinion, soem dont even know they are on ther list, some dont want to be. Its a political run scam.

[xXAkridXx]

Glenn Beck owns the alarmist!

[xXAkridXx]

Its childish to follow leadership blindly (Gore)

[GrantZilla68]

GO GLEN! \/ Did you mean "insane?" \/

[hermitcrab8518]

Glenn Beck is in sain. WASTE.

[gigumathew]

who watch is show?.hahahahaha

[torque122]

Glenn Beck is the world's largest semen eater since Freddie Mercury. He can go fuck himself raw, and anyone that likes what he has to say needs to be exterminated so that they don't reproduce. WHAT A MALIGNANT CUNT!

[tg101393]

I love how you just say things about him and don't use logic to attack his opinions and beleifs. I smell typical liberal!

[ExtraGarlicNow]

RedCO2 - the notes and feedback generally show appreciation for the question. Just admit you can't answer it or just ignore it. But your non-response response is only showing the validity of the question:

Where are the credible global warming policy leaders who actually believe so sincerely in AGW that they swear off fossil fuels?

[ExtraGarlicNow]

Where are the credible global warming policy leaders who actually believe so sincerely in AGW that they swear off fossil fuels?

[dickhead00000000]

typical AMERICAN fags. EVERYTHING IS FOR MONEY n profit. And they only take on one side. Globe WARMING IS HAPPENING. You mothafukas are the ones who destroy the EARTH.

[tg101393]

Currently in Pittsburgh it is 12 degrees Fareinheit below the average temperature. Today's low was 43 degrees and the high was 60. It is the end of May and Pittsburgh let of boats loads of C02 into the air. C02 was rapidly released into Pittsburgh atsmosshpere for over 60 years straight. If c02 effected the temperature it should be extemely hot here, not 12 degrees under the average.

[tg101393]

No responses?

[kelseypobedinsky]

al gore is a schmuck. at my college they showed his piece of shit fantasy film several times. global warming happens, always has!! it's not our fault completely. i bet most of these liberals aren't even really worried or concerned about global warming. they simply pretend to care because it is the 'trendy' thing to do now. liberals, you need unfuck yourselves. al gore uses more energy to heat his pool in one day than you'll use in a year.

[tg101393]

He uses scare tactics to get votes. Like many liberals.

[kickyerass]

Great vid Sidewinder77! Glenn Beck is the man! These lib-whack-jobs don't want to hear the truth. They call the rest of us stupid after they've swallowed all the stupid pills the leftist media puts out. Wow!

[PlanXfromMars]

gore's presumed children are organic androids which were implanted in tipper's womb to fulfill al gore's subconscious agenda (unknown even to himself). abuse of artificial sweeteners (subtle psychoactives) opens gore to alien reprogramming as he sleeps, but neurological malformations (equivalent to hardware problems) in gore's brain have resulted in repetitious logic loops with symptoms of verbal tourette's syndrome.

[amonbelgium]

American stupidy is even worse that the real (pronounced as this jerk pronounces it in the begining) live version of a human Homer Simpsons. I we finally found the missing link in the Evolution of Man

[BestestMoron]

What a bumb!!! You don't need to watch these morons... just go to any credible source for global warming on the net... wikipedia would be a good start. That prof needs his funding cut.. the govnt. is paying him = bush admin. is paying him and people like him needs to go.

[YouAreIgnorant]

It's hard to decide WHO to believe. I've always been taught (as Beck said) that CO2 is the most prominent cause of global warming, most recently by a college professor who is very intelligent and learned about this subject. And since that Geo/climate course I've always believed this and Al Gore's position...then you see things like this video and I begin to question what I know... It's hard to know what is the truth these days - everyone has their spin it seems.

[StopTheMelting]

Heres a fact, 95% of greenhouse gases is water vapor. Now for any asshat that tells me C02 (plant food) has more of an effect on are planets climate then Water vapor needs to get their heads out of their asses. Al Gore is also a hypocrite, flys around in his private jet from state to state country to country to make BS speeches on global warming. Ever stop and think of his contribution?

[YanFU]

Yeah, one flight on gore's private jet is about the same as driving a hummer for a year. Then he has what? 3 gigantic homes that take how much gas to heat every year. What a hypocrite.

[JAMY2K]

The real propoganda is Al Gore's "Inconvient Truth"

[Custador]

Glen Beck is an arse-hat.

[Wizard364]

I think I would've seen through this shit when I was three. Are Americans really THIS fucking stupid?

[BestestMoron]

To answer that.. my logic tells me that a nation this successful can't really be full of people this stupid. But as in any society, for smartness to prevail, there has to also be dumb morons that believe in videos like these.

[handofevil]

This video is a shit

[boygenis]

why is this video even here? few people trying to get attention by saying something nobody is.... Bunch of BS

[hoolerprime]

I would rather have someone with credibility like Al Gore rather than a muppet like you. Glenn Beck is a disgrace. Oh how have the mighty have fallen...so much for a credible CNN. Nothing like the rants of a foolish and arrogant Neo-Conservative moron. What a shame he has a podium.

[ILoveNatWolff4Ever]

Glenn Beck is nothing but another neo-con shitting in his pants because Al Gore actually has a brain, unlike their leaders.

[DJJamesG]

Great Video - Glenn Beck is awesome!

[Boozius]

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours

[forkeat]

The Oregon Petition — signed by 18,000 scientists world-wide states:

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."

[JMSPerry]

forkeat, what about the effect atmospheric CO2 has on other aspects of the environment? Global Warming is only one of many dangerous possibilities from atmospheric CO2. If the ocean becomes too acidic aquatic life will die and so will 90% of our oxygen production. And if we are heating the environment it will be exponential as the ocean releases CO2 when it heats up!

[forkeat]

first of all, CO2 is a beneficial thing to the earth. next, CO2 does not cause the earth to warm. The sun causes the earth to warm. CO2 levels rise in responce to higher tempuratures caused by the sun.

please take time to read oppossing views to global warming. there are scientists from NASA, Harvard, and MIT who have refuted the popular beliefs of global warming.

[JMSPerry]

ok, well, I don't know. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DAMN DISAGREEMENT. GOD DAMMIT! WHAT'S THE TRUTH? THESE SCIENTISTS AND ACTIVISTS OR THOSE SCIENTISTS? IT'S LIKE JESUS VERSUS BUDDHA! WHAT'S THE DEAL, WHO IS RIGHT?

[forkeat]

JMSP, ya, theres a lot of debate. the only thing i can tell you is to take time to find out for yourself. Jesus said "Seek and you will find.... for everyone that seeks finds."

One thing i can tell you is that back in the 70's there was "the coming ice age" scare. Scientists talked with as much certainty back then about that as the scientists who promote global warming talk now.

continue to search. You will come to an answer.

[handofevil]

I think you should read more. This is crazy.

I have learnt it since form 3 that CO2 causes the temperature to rise

[bryant528]

"In higher animals, the carbon dioxide travels in the blood from the body's tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled." So should we stop breathing to stop global warming? "In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row." Could it be the SUN? Cant we take a step back and seriously debate the issue?? Are Carbon Credits and Carbon Taxes really the answers?

[forkeat]

CO2 emission sources: Oceans-------59.5% Decaying vegitaion----17.9% Plant and animal respiration--17.9% Human made----4.7% (factories, cars, fireplaces, breathing, etc.) The human input of CO2 into the earth is insignificant compared to natural sources, i.e. 4.7% to 95.3%. Quit worrying about global warming and get some sleep.

[urchinau]

Glenn's an arrogant pompous barking child.

[forkeat]

real men don't eat quiche,

and

real scientists don't agree with al gore

[saratogaslim]

Yeah, that's right. I'll have none of that thinking shit. Give me an incompetent president any day! You know, some inarticulate dude who you'd like to have a beer with. Good ol' American values! Someone who appoints unqualified people to his administration. One of us, man! God bless you!

[bho84]

critics say global warming is a fad, but they don't say what the effects of the global cooling is going to be environment wise, ecomonically, socially, etc. they just say global warming is not true. that's it?

if they killed any motions of improved gas mileage, lesser pollution, dependency on foreign oil,etc., then movement for better technology and politics will be hurt, if not halted in those areas.

[bho84]

also, glenn beck is only going to give up his suv if it'll help the environment? what about helping our US foreign policy? The oil dependence is too high in the US.

Alot of suv's get 13-15 mpg TODAY. horrible. at least i saw a toyota corolla commercial that says it does 41 mpg. I heard that if the average US car did ~40mpg, then oil dependency can be zero if we choose to do so. no sources on that, but still, improved mileages will decrease the need for foreign oil.

[saratogaslim]

Exactly. In actuality, an increase of only 2.7 miles per gallon on all cars in the US would eliminate our need for Middle East oil. States such as California and Connecticut, among others, are taking action already. CFLs, fuel efficieny standards, clean energy...It's happening now.

[bho84]

I'm actually glad to hear that. I'm saving up for a newer and more efficient car in the future but it's taking awhile since I'm in school for another year or so. Currently driving a '97 acura tl and I usually get a little above 23 mpg.

Do you know what the average mpg US car is?

[saratogaslim]

I really don't know. I do know that the best milage that any car is getting nowadays is the Toyota Prius, which gets close to 60 MPG. I'm still driving around in a '98 Civic, but I'm looking at buying a Honda Fit. The Fit gets 33 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway. It costs about $15K.

[guinmaan]

Do your homework...net tailpipe emmissions are only part of the 'footprint' of a hybrid car. They are worse for the enviroment than an reg. efficient economy car. Hybrids are for morons.

[bryant528]

"Impartial checks revealed that best-selling models use up to a third more fuel than `official' consumption figures declared by manufacturers. Toyota's hybrid Prius (pictured) `ecocar' was the worst performer and returned just 41.5mpg compared to a claimed 65.7mpg - 37 per cent less. Many other `green' cars also failed to get as far as expected and the smallest city cars did 24 per cent less than billed." Look it up.

[thebohunc]

Al is my Shepard

He is only aware of what he wants

He makes me lie down on park benches outside his mansion

He leads me beside the polluted water of his strip mine

He restores my doubt in brain dead liberals

He leads me in the path of Kyoto for his legacy sake

His lies give children sleepless nights

Though i walk dark in my house his 4 are lit like Vegas

Surely his lust for power will follow me all the days of my life

And I will see votes held to the light on thanksgiving forever

[KawaiiKohaku]

Lmao global warming triggers an ice age. I'm glad dunces like you saratogaslim who can't see beyond what Al Gore tells you don't have their a show where we can hear your pearls of wisdom. Learn some damn science. Even the liberal darling NY Times disagreed with the severity with which Gore presents things.

[saratogaslim]

Glenn Beck will be off the air in 6 months. Leave it to that whining dunce to dig up someone who claims that the world is cooling.

[actingsmart]

Dig up someone? You don't have to dig very far to find plenty of evidence of cooling, particularly in the southern hemisphere. The data that is being abused by the Al Gorephites is only taken from the northern hemisphere and is full of inaccuracies. Do a little research yourself. I dare you to form an educated opinion.

[saratogaslim]

It has nothing to do with Gore. Virtually every credible

scientist and climatologist would agree that the world is getting warmer. Southern Hemisphere--yeah, slower rate, for many reasons. Do you know who Philip Cooney is? Look him up. Even the Prez and the Evangelicals are saying, "Okay, let's start making some intelligent changes." Apparently, you're not there yet.

[actingsmart]

Oh but it DOES have to do with Al Gore. Because he is the major figurehead for the scare campaign. Amazing how he can point fingers at everyone when he is flying around the country in a jet, and riding in a limo. I never said anything about not making some intelligent changes. I am completely behind responsible stewardship of the planet. I am saying that people like Al Gore are being irresponsible and bending scientific evidence to fit their purpose (making money).

[saratogaslim]

Well, we have a difference of opinion, and I'm not here to defend Al Gore. Personally, I admire the man. However, I'll never be able to forgive him for not making the environment a topic for debate during his presidential run. As long as you and I can agree that taking care of the planet is a good thing, then that's good enough for me. Peace.

[codemonkey69]

Don't make declarative statements like this when you're wrong. Richard Lindzen of MIT; Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas of Harvard; William Gray of Colorado State; and Frederick Seitz of the National Academy of Sciences are just a few of the many well-respected scientists (free of industry ties) that take issue with anthropogenic global warming or even global warming at all. Do some research and you'll see there is no consensus on warming or its causes.

[saratogaslim]

And there are also people out there who claim that evolution is just a "theory," that the Earth was just formed 4000 years ago, and that they have a person relationship with Jesus. They're called the Republican base.

[codemonkey69]

Sure, Harvard and MIT are known as hotbeds of creationism! Get a clue.

[saratogaslim]

You and your neo-con buddies need to get a clue. Check out a video called Al Gore Is Crazy for some real truth.

[extremeweatherguy]

yeah, I cannot understand why people tend to write off these HIGH level scientists so quickly. Seems like many have just been so brainwashed that they forget that scientific debate is actually a good thing! people need to look at both sides of the issue in order to really get a good picture. The truth usually tends to lie somewhere in between.

Glenn Beck on Headline News airs nightly at 7:00 p.m., repeating at 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. (All times Eastern.)

His show is an hour-long show on CNN Headline News that premiered May 8, 2006.

Over a year and still going.

His radio show, currently heard on nearly 200 stations nationwide, is the third highest-rated national radio talk show among adults ages 25 to 54 according to Premiere Research/Arbitron.

[saratogaslim]

And 35% of Americans take the Bible at face value, and 50% voted for Bush. Unfortunately, we live in a country of narrow-minded fools. Glenn Beck certainly has a base!

"All the scientific evidence seems to support the same general conclusions, that the Kyoto Protocol is overly expensive, ineffective and based on bad science."

Yuri A. Izrael, Vice-Chair of the IPCC

[theultimatetruth2010]

the IPCC is bullshit, not made up of the worlds 2500 top scientists. some arent even scientists

[wafflerama]

Neither, I suspect, are you.

[iloveemo1984]

Yep, everyone who doesn't agree is a paid off Exxon hired gun or stupid becasue the IPCC reports are so certain that even they admit the "large inaccuracies" in their models. OMG, maybe Exxon funded those remarks too!

[topperharley12585]

I take it you've never done regression analysis. If you have you'd know how easily the IPCC could be completely wrong, because of omitting an important variable. And there is no way to measure this possible error.

[wafflerama]

The geologist at W. Washington says he's never had any funding by energy, but the University's website shows President's Club Benefactors -- groups that have contributed over $100,000

-British Petroleum Cherry Point Refinery

-British Petroleum Foundation

-BP America Inc.

-General Motors Technical Center

-Georgia Pacific Chemical

-Alcoa Primary Metals

-Puget Sound Energy, Bellevue

[allhavegoneastray]

It is a shame wafflerama that you would choose to use accurate information inaccurately. The President's Club Benefactors, if you bothered to check, are donors to the University, not companies who fund research.

[wafflerama]

Having worked in a university, I can tell you that funds given for research are typically listed as "contributions" or "donations," pick your synonym. Companies for obvious reasons rarely want their areas of research funding spelled out on a university's website.

[allhavegoneastray]

You will find donor lists like this on many university wed sites. Although Mr. Easterbrook acknowledged his research was funded by the University, there is no indication that any of these benefactors funded his research. It appears you are simply trying to slander Mr. Easterbrook or give the appearance of a conspiracy.

[wafflerama]

Slander and conspiracy. Nice. Especially ironic considering the video this thread is based on. Whatever happened to healthy skepticism?

[allhavegoneastray]

Skepticism is healthy and good and may have been your intention. However, your comment was more accusatory than skeptical. The implication from your comment was that Mr. or Dr. ( I'm not sure which) Easterbrook was lying.

[wafflerama]

In my defense, I'd elaborated a lot more on university funding, but when I hit the submit button I ran into that 500-character limit. I'm all for brevity, but with less than 100 words, things end up kinda simplistic.

[promotube]

wafflerama,

Educated people do not need more than 500 characters in order to articulate themselves. Without the oil companies you wouldn't be able to post your childish comments. Oil is part of our wealth!

[wafflerama]

Yeah, I'm waiting for those 500-character abridged additions of the Koran, Bible and Origins of the Species. I'm sure they'll make for enlightened reading. Thanks for demonstrating what a real "childish comment" looks like.

[promotube]

wafflerama,

Stop whining and clean up your sandbox! Your comments are just dumb!

[rambo26]

Pat Michaels does not disagree with humans playing a large role, he does believe Al Gore exagerrated many things

[promotube]

Sleep tight!

[ThePatriotsMaxim]

For every 1 of these Fox "scientists" discrediting global warming, there are 10 supporting it.

[tradingbr]

when even the nytimes is coming out to say its an exageration you sheep need to listen

[DemCwazyNeoCons]

hmm...listen to 1,000 scientists saying it is fact, or these two. Typical of rubber stamping neocon sheep to believe Fox News. too funny how mindless they are.

[neutrinoide]

Not true I read all scientist articles. and not one say that. It the econlogist that say so.

[Ryukacho]

sadly, you are the mindless sheep, my dear youtube comrade.

you see, the facts are there, and the facts pretty much stomp and incinerate the humans causing global warming theory. I do not call myself an "independant", this implies i reject everything popular. But this is an exception, this is when popular science ignores the scientific method for its own gain. The liberal media is making a KILLING off of this, everyone's going to tune in for a "global warming" special.

[minnierv]

This is CNN Headline News not Fox News.

[j0eg0d]

Patriot,

Most sources are using scientific research for their own extremes while scientists they try to balance out their own theories.

Al Gore has presented ONE theory of several and turned it into the truth by using popular opinion.

We need to understand all theories that SUPPORT Climate Change and understand what is fraudulent about 'An Inconvenient Truth'.

[usa1mac]

Get a clue. This was on CNN.

[promotube]

usa1ma: 'Get a clue. This was on CNN.'

Too true! Unfortunately, the believers of man-made Global Warming don't get it that CNN and NYTimes are their own news media outlets! It's so funny! They are so brainwashed that it will take years until they wake up!
